Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Modeling of F ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A postdoctoral position is to be filled immediately in the Theoretical Electrochemistry group of Prof. Michael Eikerling at the Department of Chemistry of Simon Fraser University, http://www.sfu.ca/eikerlingresearch.html.
The postdoctoral fellow selected for this position will perform molecular modeling studies of self-organization in catalyst layers for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs).
The PDF will develop, implement and test advanced atomistic and coarse-grained simulation methods and tools. The project involves close collaboration with the company Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation Corp. (AFCC) on aspects of experimental model validation and model-based materials design.
Working closely with a group of PhD students and research staff at AFCC, the PDF is particularly responsible for the development and implementation of force fields, materials databases, and a graphical user interface to build simulation input/output in an easily accessible format.
We are an interdisciplinary and collaborative team and are looking for candidates with strong background in statistical physics, theoretical physical chemistry, electrochemical materials science and, especially, molecular modeling. Moreover, it is expected that candidates will bring programming experience as well as excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
APPLICATION
Please include a current CV with publication list, degrees and prior affiliations, completed and ongoing projects, as well as a list of references, sent to [email protected].
